Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever Explosions in the Sky

“nothing short of awe-inspiring and one of the best records of 2001. The members of Explosions in the Sky may just be four soft-spoken guys from Texas, but on this album they simply tear everything apart. Combining influences from classic rock to metal to goth, the band creates instrumental soundscapes that can turn from all-out destruction to heartfelt, dreamy melodies in the blink of an eye. The result is similar to Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor! – a musical journey that leads listeners through the entire range of emotion without even needing words.” - Charles Spano, AllMusic
